The electric single-seater championship has embraced gaming in its second season, introducing bespoke live 'Race-Off' events, virtual races between drivers and one fan at FE races and a console-based fan eSports championship.

Investigations at the track did not reveal why the #5 Toyota TS050 Hybrid suddenly slowed with five minutes of the race to go when Kazuki Nakajima was at the wheel. The technical problem for Toyota allowed Porsche to take its second consecutive victory at Le Mans.

The weekend action will be highlighted by a time attack race comprised of enthusiasts and shops, as well as a GTR-only class allowing participants to compete against Nob Taniguchi, who will pilot the HKS GT 1000+ Nissan GT-R.

All five competitors were found to be in violation of rule 15.11-G and were fined in accordance with rule 11.1. In addition, each driver has been placed under a three-month suspension from all DIRTcar-sanctioned events.
